Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Friday that Kohou (neck) is ruled out for Sunday's game against Arizona, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Kohou, Miami's top nickel cornerback, will be forced to miss his first game of the season due to a neck injury. Nik Needham will be a candidate to fill in for Kohou versus the Cardinals on Sunday and for as long as the starting slot corner remains sidelined.

Dolphins' Kader Kohou: Dealing with neck injury
Rotowire
Kohou (neck) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's injury report, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Kohou logged one tackle and two pass breakups during the Dolphins' Week 7 loss to the Colts, but he appears to have picked up a neck injury in the process. He'll have two more opportunities to return to the practice field ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Kohou has logged 17 tackles (13 solo), four pass breakups, one interception and one fumble recovery through the first six games of the regular season.

Dolphins' Kader Kohou: Suits up for 17 games
Rotowire
Kohou racked up 63 tackles (52 solo), 1.0 sacks and one fumble recovery across 17 regular-season appearances in 2023.
Kohou played a near every-down role for Miami during the first eight weeks of the season, but he became more of a rotational player as Jalen Ramsey's involvement grew down the stretch. Now heading into the final year of his contract with the Dolphins, Kohou still appears locked into a No. 2 or reserve role at cornerback for the 2024 campaign.

Kohou has been sidelined for Miami's last two games but will be ready for a return after a pair of limited practices to begin the week followed by a full session Friday. Prior to going down, he played a significant role in Miami's secondary and tallied 21 total tackles and two passes defended in five games.

Dolphins' Kader Kohou: Unlikely to play Sunday
Rotowire
Kohou is doubtful to play in Sunday's contest against the Vikings due to an oblique injury.
With Xavien Howard (groin) ruled out, Kohou played a season-high 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps in Week 5 but presumably picked up an oblique injury as well. In Kohou's expected absence, look for Noah Igbinoghene and Keion Crossen to see increased snaps in Miami's secondary.
